Amazingly gorgeous! (passout)

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Holy smokes Paul. These are borderline surreal...or "otherworldly"! The patterns in the material is amazing. The shaping is amazing. The polish is amazing.

So...I guess I'm trying to say these are better than just "ok"!

I bought the slab for $22, about 6 months ago.
Now it seems all the Palm Root available
Is either “ Flame free?”
Or a different color all together.

These sell real fast... As fast as i make em’
For sure,
So if anyone knows where to get some good palm root slabs?
PM Me and i will make it worth your while

Paul, is this material strictly an Indonesian material? I have found some similar small pieces years ago near Lajitas in West Texas. It all dark and has the "big eyes" but none of the lighter colors. Got a pendant stone somewhere made from it. My filing system leaves much to be desired.

Have another interesting larger piece that I have held off slicing as it has most of the bark and the root stem on the bottom. I will see if I can get the photo department off it's butt and get a picture to post.

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

Would you please stop making my "needed rocks" list get longer? It's not very polite.

Seriously, though, those are quite amazing. All wheels, or do you need to dremel out the top of the heart?
